Most would solve that, yes. In my case, my wheels were a one-off so-to-speak.
They were made for an E-Class MB 18x8 et30 and 18x9et35 and bolt holes were drilled wide enough for MB bolts(12mm). I purchased them as-is and had to make them work. Machined the holes to 14mm and had to get appropriate tire sizes. It isn't a problem for me as I will never track the car with this wheel setup. I do it for looks and nothing more. If I need to see a track, I will go back to my stock wheels with "stock" tire sizes and drive it to its limits like that.

Anyone ever notice that most of Das' pics of his pimp-*** ride are always in a setting where it
looks like there would be a higher than normal probability of a homicide occurring? LOL, or is it just me that's noticed that....?

Would you like me to go take some pictures by a lake with a fruit cake of a fairy
dancing around on his twinkle toes? I live in Jersey. I daily drive my car. I work in Newark and Harrison. My car right now is parked 500ft from Rt 21, main road for any Jersey thief to do their dirty work. It is what it is man. I like grungy backdrops, industrial, dirty, dark, clashes with my car.
I'll keep it in mind next time though.

cool...
Although I would hate to see what would happen if your tires were under inflated and you took a hard turn at speed. Do you have to inflate your tires more than manufacturers spec to insure proper sealing of the tire to rim? Do the tires wear normally just as if they were mounted on correct size rims? Cool look.. I wonder if any tire manufacturers make products specifically for this type of "look"
